i) Estimate the directivity of the antenna. Assume that the aperture efficiency is 1 and that the conduction dielectric loss efficiency is also 1. ii) Compare the directivity value, calculated above, with the gain value given in the data sheet. What can we say about the total efficiency and aperture efficiency of this antenna?
